Make no bones about it.... you son IS a hero.
Anyone who has joined the military or has fought any sort of battle to defend freedom, is an American and a hero. Sometimes those wars and battles are fought with bullets and guns; otherwise with words, or sitting on a bus refusing to move in 1955 in Selma Alabama.
Only an insane person wants to into a fight that could otherwise be avoided; and only a hero is willing to do so even though they don't want to./ That is one way of showing who is a hero and who is not. Most soldiers are willing to fight, but I don't believe that most want to. Yeager seems to be looking for a fight and he wants to get into one. Maybe that's PTSD, maybe it's another kind of stress or hidden suicidal death wish, whatever the case may be, it's not normal. Maybe JY was a hero at one point, but he has disgraced himself, his service, and his country; although I do defend his right to say what he wants, I and the law, do not excuse him from the responsibility for his words, actions, or deeds.
James Yeager, if you ever do come across this forum, I do not want to defend myself, but I am willing to do so as a last resort if I cannot de-escalate and/or escape the situation. If I am one of those people you are prepared to "start killing", just remember there sunshine, I shoot back. I'm also not the only one who thinks or acts this way, so please be aware that there's a lot more of "us" than there is of you. Choose wisely. Your life depends on it.
